want to know how 1 spent
the Glorious Fourth? Wan
I mine and sedate, comport-
ing myself in a manner be-
fitting a brand-new college
graduate, or did I run off
and romp with brother
Tom's kiddles, as usual,

acquired dignity? Alas, my
. dear! I must confess that
tny Fourth was far, far from sane, and

nephews usually occupied that room,
and that they were expecting me owr
to celebrate the Fourth with them—
but It all sounded like perfect non-
sense. Just then, to my mingled relief
and annoyance, Tout appeared at the
window, too, with a fiendish grin, as
he sl/ed up the situation and my cos-
tume.

to stay to breakfast; but of course I

CLOTHES FOR RAINY DAYS
Fashions and Customs Have Under-
gone Remarkable Change in the
Past Ten Years.
Fush'ons ntid customs have changed
overwhelmingly in the past ten years,
hut in no other reepect more than in
the rainy day garb. Everyone remem-
bers with many a hearty laugh the
way people used to look out of the
window and say. In a resigned way:
"Well, it's raining." That meant very
positively that good looking clothes
were not in decent taste in such
weather, and one must wear n mack-
intosh—was there ever a more hid< -
ous garment made? le -llens rubbers,
dark clothes, shabby shoe« and one's
oldest hat. And who ever did enjoy
anything in her oldest hat! Nowadays
the girl who looks on the cheerful Hide
of things and rather enjoys the rainy
day for a change has a bright red or
purple hat that, of course has no
feathers, but is plain and serviceable,
but which she knows i« most becom-
ing. She wears her tailored suit, but
It has a short skirt and is protected by
a good looking raincoat. Her shoes

productions of the Parisian Dressmak-
are high and thick, but they are just
as good looking as those she keeps for
sunny days, and often, to add another
bit of color, tshe carries a red or pur-
ple silk umbrella. It keeps the rain
off Just as well a* a black one and it
just makes you feel better. It Is won-
derful what a becoming hat and gay
umbrella can do toward chasing away
the blues on a stormy day.

New Preparation That Is Likely to
Appeal to Traveler of Fastidious
T astes.
Somehow soap powder has never
taken the fancy of fastidoua folk.
It is not especially pleasant to u.-o
and it never smells like anything but
tho washroom of a railway station or
department store. It. moreover, has a i
way of sprinkling itself around every-
where except on the han Is in a messy 1
and disagreeable way, and dainty wo-
men who travel will have none of
it, preferring to carry the wet cake
of personally prefr rred toilet soap
In a rubber lined receptacle in the
traveling bag. A new soap tablet,
however, will be likely to appeal to
the fastidious traveler, because of its
convenience and the attractive way it.

box less than three Inches square. A
pair of nickel tweezers are tucked in !

tion, dissolve easily In thn water. And
